ABOUT

I am a Web, UI, and Branding designer from the San Fernando Valley in LA that has lived in the Bay Area for 12 years with a 2 year stint in Brooklyn, NYC.

I'm excited to use my background of prototyping, responsive design, illustration, front end chops, graphics, animation, and photography to collaborate with like minded people. I love the process of sketching, creating and reinvisioning products. I'm also a big believer in flat, minimal and clean design. That combined with great communication and a strong message usually allows great design to shine through.

Vulcun

I was
lucky enough to be involved in web development, mobile design, and illustration.

Onboarding Illustrations

Vulcun really wanted to improve their FTUE (First time user experience) on the site
so I was given the task to create some fun illustrations to help with that process.

CSGO Jackpot App

Vulcun partnered with CSGO Jackpot in July and I was put in charge of design
for it. Sticking to the sites original design/features me and another developer
moved fast to be able to get this on the itunes & google play in 3 weeks.

Vulcun App

Before Vulcun fell out of paid fantasy this past fall they were planning on releasing
a mobile app for their services. These are the first designs for the first release. I stuck
stricly to the websites color palette and font choice.

Lootdrop

The idea behind 'Lootdrop' was to give our users a chance to win free in-game
virtual items just by watching a stream. The items ranged from themed crates to puzzle pieces, to stickers for a virtual sticker book. I lead the art direction and development/prototyping for the crates, puzzle piece collection and the virtual book. Heartbeats were also developed in After Effects to add an excitement factor to each droptime.

Cloud4Wi

Being the only designer and one of two developers at an Italian startup was challenging. I was responsible for a complete rebrand, not only for their main product, but a new product called 'Fog'. The 'Fog' logo actually became the new branding for Cloud4wi.

I created characters, logos, websites, print collateral, huge stickers, tshirts, sweatshirts, you name it. I gave the whole brand a facelift, with a direction of flat, fun, but elegant design. The team was very small but I was able to get a lot of experience, working directly with the CEO and his wife.

Here a small sample size of a lot of the work that was created along the way.

KROSSOVER UI

Football Product

Working off wireframes (one is shown below) and collaborating with my UX designer I created the user flow and interface for Krossovers upcoming new football product.

All options are tucked away so the video and field are the center of attention. Keeping things simple and flat was top priority as well as giving the icons a high contrast for high readibility. The overlays for filtering plays and formations have a slight transparency, giving the user the ability to still see the video behind it.

Volleyball Product

Working off wireframes (one is shown below) and collaborating with my UX designer I created the user flow and interface for Krossovers upcoming new volleyball product.

If a coach is logged in, they are able to see all their current players, assistant coaches, and game clips that have been broken down. We used the companies blue color to hide the information when the modal pop up appears.

Krossover Mobile UI

SIQ

SIQ (sports intelligent quotient) is an application developed by Krossover. It tests a users intelligence of past sports games. Clips of the game are shown then paused, prompting the user to guess what the next play will be. Krossover was updating the application. The first two images are examples of the older user interface I worked on. The next two are mockups for the newer layout and menu screens.

Krossover iOS update

Keeping in line with the styleguides for the web app, I helped create some of the mobile user interface for Krossover's mobile applciation. They didn't have one previously so it was fun to be involved on this. We focused on icons, simple navigation with plenty of white space, and large video options. You're able to filter what video clips you want shown with a side hamburger menu.

Bleacher Report UI

I was asked to create two new home pages and articles pages for Bleacher Report.

Home page & Articles Page Example 1

Sports websites are very difficult to read. I organized everything within a three column grid that fills the whole page and increased the sizes of all fonts and pictures. Helvetica Neue was used for the body text while Knockout, Mohave, and Bebas Neue was used for headlines. I took the flattened version of their logo from their app. Rollovers are transparent so you don't lose the information behind it.

One of the best features of Bleacher Reports website is their 'Team Stream' feature (they've also made an app out of it). You can input the teams and players you want to follow and those things will be shown and updated in a small box on the page. I thought this is the strongest feature on the site, but you don't see it immediately. I moved it up into the navbar, adding a profile picture option and notification flag, giving the website a more personal feel for the user.

I wanted the navbar to be rounded and fixed when you scroll down the page so you still have the ability to navigate around without having to scroll back to the top. I made everything flat and used a blurred background with a gradient to keep everything within new design trends.

Home page & Articles Page Example 2

I stuck to the same design contraints I used for the first example but moved the navbar to the side, using icons to help the user descriminate between categories.

Keeping the navbar to the side gave more contraints to the grid layout, so I kept things similar to what Bleacher Report originally had while slightly increasing the size of images and text.

Proxima Nova was used for all headlines. It's a great sports font with a lot of weight options. Keeping things readable and highly organized while maintaining a flat, clean, and modern look were my main goals on this project.

Affinity Live

Park Delicatessen Marketing

I worked at a Skate store / flower shop in Brooklyn for a while. Most of my time was spent updating the shops wordpress site, while the other time was spent flushing out graphics and logos for their two clothing brands (Park Deli & Bon Voyage). These are examples of process shots and finished work.
